We talked for about 15 minutes. He said he always had several drinks when he got...

Why does an ebook need a cover? I've resisted creating a cover for the past year. I love my website logo which is a Montana Evening Primrose. Why shouldn't a logo be enough for e-published works.
But, I gave up my mini-protest. The cover for Five Years Lying is out. I'd love to hear any critism...

Helsinki-I was shirtless wearing a bulletproof vest and flannel pants at a party a few weeks ago here in Helsinki and was asked by a Finn what it was that I liked so much about Finland.

I’m one of those sober people.
Haven’t had a drink for a long time. A very long time. I’ll spare you drama queen version and instead sum up the gory days in as few words as possible: lost jobs, lost friends, lost contents of stomach, early-stage DTs (yes,...

Today, I attended a funeral. A funeral of a vivacious, beautiful, 37 year old woman. A woman who could light up a room with her smile. A woman who was full of life.
